Title: An Improved Alarum Lock.
Inventor: SCHEIBEL AXEL
Filed: 1905-05-30
Granted: 1905-09-07
Abstract: 11,342. Scheibel, A. May 30. Alarms, burglar and like.-A key lock is connected with an electric bell in such a manner that when a key or other instrument is inserted in the keyhole the bell is caused to ring continuously. The two conductors c, d of an electric circuit which operates the bell are respectively connected to the insulated front plate b of the lock and to the body of the lock. When a metal instrument is inserted in the keyhole, the circuit is completed, thereby causing the bell to ring. Immediately the armature l is attracted by the magnet, the 'pivot piece s, which is electrically connected with the armature through the stud t, is released from the pin v and is caused by the spring u to turn until it lies against the contact-piece x. A second circuit is thus closed, thereby causing the bell to ring after the instrument has been withdrawn from the keyhole. The ordinary bell circuit, worked by the bell push z, may be connected with the alarm circuit as shown. It will be available for use 'in the ordinary way when the switch n is so placed that the lock contact is out of circuit. The cord A serves to throw the contact for continuous ringing out of action, the ring B being slipped over the stud C.

Granted: 1907-06-13
Abstract: 3811. Johason, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Feb. 15. Zinc hydrosulphite is prepared by reacting on zinc with sulphur dioxide in the presence of an alcohol, either absolute, or dilute, for example ethyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, amyl alcohol, and glycerine, or other liquids, which either wholly or partly, prevent the zinc hydrosulphite from going into solution. According to an example, sulphur dioxide is allowed to react on a mixture of dilute methylated spirits and zinc dust at 60-75‹ C., with stirring. The resulting paste of crystalline zinc hydrosulphite is filtered off, washed with methylated spirit, and dried in vacuo at 60-75‹ C.

Title: Improvements in Alternating Current Wattmeters of the Thermal Type.
Inventor: ARCIONI VITTORIO
Filed: 1907-11-12
Granted: 1908-02-20
Abstract: 25,118. Arcioni, V. Nov. 12. Energy meters.-The power supplied in a single- or poly-phase circuit is measured by the difference of the thermal effects produced by currents proportional to the sum and difference of a main current and pressure, produced by transformers T', T<2> with main current coils A', A<2> and pressure coils B<1>, B<2>, so wound that their magnetic effects are cumulative in one transformer T<1>, and subtractive in the other T<2>, thus inducing currents in secondary coils s<1>, s<2> proportional to the sum and difference of the main current and the pressure. The induced currents are passed through resistances which heat the bulbs of a differential gas thermometer, and the maximum load may be registered by the amount of liquid overflowing into a side tube as shown, or the U-tube may be provided with non-return indicators in both arms. A single instrument may be used for measuring three-phase power by providing the heating resistances with central connexions, the halves of one resistance being connected to the secondaries of two cumulatively-wound transformers with pressure and current coils connected to two phases of the system, and the halves of the other resistance being connected to the secondaries of two differentially wound transformers connected to the same two phases. When the same instrument is to be used either on single-phase or on three-phase systems, the resistance R, in series with the pressure coils B', B<2>, is provided with an auxiliary connexion to compensate for the difference in the resistance of the secondary circuit when the half or the whole of one heating-resistance is connected to one secondary winding.

Title: An Improved Coupling for Railway Coaches, Wagons and the like.
Inventor: LOWRY WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-01-08
Granted: 1908-03-19
Abstract: 493. Lowry, W. Jan. 8. Couplings, non-automatic.-In three-link couplings for railway coaches, wagons, &c., which are adapted for operation by hand from the side of the vehicle, the outer link d is connected to the inner shackle or link b by rods f, which are weighted at g and are arranged to slide through blocks h pivoted at h<1> to the shackle b, the arrangement being such that, during the operation of coupling, the link d is raised by sliding the rods f through the blocks h until the weight g is overbalanced, thereby allowing the link d to fall over the opposing hook a', as shown in Fig. 3 ; while for uncoupling, the link d is raised out of the hook a<1> by swinging the shackle b about its pivot a<2> , after which the link slides back against the blocks h. As an example of mechanism for performing these operations, a cross-shaft m may be fitted with an arm i, shaped as shown, which is adapted to engage with a groove formed at the centre of the weight g and thereby raise the lid d for coupling, while uncoupling may be effected by the engagement of a toothed sector k on the shaft with a rack-bar l, Fig. 4, which is pivoted to ears b<1> provided on the shackle b. A claw r formed on the arm i serves to catch the weight g in case the opposing hook a' should be at too great a distance to support the link d when it reaches the overbalancing position. The arm i may be bifurcated, and is preferably mounted loosely upon the shaft m, being operated through the engagement of projections s, t, Fig. 4, formed on the sector k and arm i respectively, Guard-plates e, Fig. 1, are fitted on each side of the draw-hooks in order to guide the opposing link into engagement. In a modification, the bar l may be operated by a chain connecting it to a drum upon the shaft m.

Title: Improvements in Angle & Linear Measuring Scales.
Inventor: NUNEZ MANUEL GARCIA
Filed: 1908-07-21
Granted: 1909-07-08
Abstract: 15,411. Nunez, M. G. July 21. Scales; protractors. -Relates to angular and linear measuring-scales. The protractor a is provided with a fixed concentric vernier scale b, comprising an angle of 59 degrees divided into 60 parts. In measuring an angle to read to minutes, the protractor is adjusted until one straight line bounding the angle coincides with a division on the outer scale, while the otber straight line coincides with a graduation on the inner scales. The angle will then contain as many degrees as the reading of the exterior scale less the reading of the interior scale, and as many minutes as the reading of the interior scale. A method of setting-out angles consisting of degrees and minutes is described in the Specification. In Fig. 2 is shown a linear scale B adapted to read to tenths of a millimetre. An ordinary scale c is provided with lateral extensions d consisting of lengths of 11 mm. divided into ten equal parts. The scale is used in somewhat the same way as the protractor. The divisions of the upper scale A are millemetres with the exception of the divisions immediately beyond the centimetre graduation marks. These divisions are 1 x-mm., where x is the number of completed centimetres. For example the division immediately beyond the 6 cm. graduation is 1-6 mm.
